Well i guess that you benefit quite a bit due to the piped nature
in between all the several programs that are involved, right?
Unless one part of the pipeline has to wait for more input from
its predecessor it seems to me they can run in full parallel.
One more reason not to like grohtml, by the way. ^_^
